Preserving Life: A Doctor's Perspective

What happens when a doctor stands firm in his convictions to protect life despite professional pressure? Dr. Sancetta, Medical Director at Eve's Hope Pregnancy Care Center, reveals his journey through four decades as a pro-life OB-GYN in a field where such perspectives are increasingly rare.

Drawing from personal heartbreak, Dr. Sancetta shares the story of losing his own child to abortion 43 years ago when his girlfriend terminated their pregnancy despite his pleas to parent the baby himself. "It doesn't leave you," he confesses, explaining how this profound loss shaped his approach to patient care and his unwavering commitment to offering alternatives to abortion.

With startling candor, he exposes what he calls "deliberate misrepresentation" in medical education, describing how some schools present embryos as "bacteria in a petri dish" rather than recognizable human beings. This lack of transparency extends to patient care, where he advocates for true informed consent—showing women accurate representations of their developing babies before they make life-altering decisions.

The conversation delves into politically charged topics with refreshing medical expertise, including the "mother's life in danger" exception that Dr. Sancetta calls "extremely rare" in his experience delivering almost 5,000 babies. He shares cases of patients with cancer who carried their pregnancies to term successfully despite pressure to terminate, and explains his willingness to take high-risk cases other doctors avoid.

Perhaps most thought-provoking is his discussion of fathers' rights—or lack thereof—in pregnancy decisions. "If the father should have responsibilities, he should have rights also," he argues, spotlighting an often-overlooked perspective in abortion debates.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And we are back with some of our dear friends from
Eve's Hope.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's goodto have everyone here with us.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Thank you, it's great to be here.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
It's good to be back and we have one new voice.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Hi, this is Dr Sancetta.
Nice to be here.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yes, Dr Sancetta, good to have you and just so
excited to speak with you, toget to know you a bit.
Let me just allow you tointroduce yourself to the
listeners to start off.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
All right, I'm an obstetrician gynecologist.
I've been in practice since1989 in the Miami area, did
training up in GeorgetownMedical and training for
deliveries up in Springfield,massachusetts, and have been in
the field for quite a long timeand have strong beliefs in being

(01:18):
there to support life andcertainly babies' lives and
mothers' lives, and have seenold, typical possible issues
that could arise in childbirth.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
You know, it's amazing and just really bringing
the issue to the forefront, orthe reality to the forefront
that we're looking at here today.
You, as a doctor, have, havepartnered with or or support
we're going to get into thedetails what exactly do you do
over there?
Uh, but, but you're taking astand, you know you're taking a

(01:52):
stand in this partnership, inthis work, what you do at eve's
hope, and tell us more, moreabout that.
Uh, if, if you can at this timewell, I mean all along.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
I've always been a pro-life person ever since I was
was in school.
Even in high school we used todebate about when does life
begin, and have given a lot ofthought to try to figure that
answer out, which is really,since it's a continuum, it's
really hard to say exactly when,but I've always been.
I was raised Catholic, hadparents who took us, know, took

(02:25):
us to church every week and, youknow, had strong beliefs also
and I guess when just my wholebeing is always, you know,
pro-life.
I don't think I ever was anyother than that.
So, along the way things wouldoccur, I went through medical
school and then I decided to gointo obstetrics and gynecology
and at the time there was a lotof schools and programs that

(02:47):
were pretty much insinuatingthat level.
If you're not okay withabortion, then you probably
shouldn't be applying here.
Wow, and that was going on backwhen I was applying to
residency programs somewherelike 19,.
I guess it was 80.
It must have been about 79 orso 79, 80.
And the program I obviouslymatched with wasn't going to

(03:09):
have that type of issue and sobecause I always told everybody
that, look, I'm not interestedin being involved with that, I'm
pretty much a pro-life personand so that's how it kind of
wandered and essentially in theresidency, we really didn't have
to get involved with anythingrelated to abortion.
However, at the time when I wasrotating through pathology, they

(03:32):
said well, do you want to seethis outcomes of abortion?
I felt at the time I wanted tosee just so I'd have a concrete
understanding as to whatabortion means in the, you know
the upfront way that you knowafter the fact, which definitely
had an impact on me and, youknow, strengthened my views of

(03:52):
being against abortion, soyou're saying when you actually
did the research, itstrengthened your convictions
and your views.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
When you saw what it really is.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Wow, do you think and again we're going to kind of go
on different trails here, buton that one thought do you think
again, in your experience,decades of experience as a
doctor, as a professional do youthink that many people maybe
have a number in mind don't knowthe realities of abortion?
Do you think they're notinformed?
Do you think they just don'tcare?

Speaker 5 (04:28):
I know that's kind of a strong statement, but what's
your thoughts?
Well, I think there's a lot ofdeliberate misrepresentation as
to what's occurring and to methat's really disheartening to
think that people would do that.
And I kind of was shocked tohear even from people amongst
Eve's hopes whose daughters werein medical school saying that
they showed a picture of like anine-week fetus and it looked
like a petri dish with bacteriagrowing on it.

(04:49):
I mean, it really lookednothing like a nine-week fetus
and I was shocked to hear thatat the medical school level this
is what they're teaching people.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Because that's not true at all.
That's not what it looks like.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
No, it's completely ridiculous to be suggesting that
.
And maybe when it's dismemberedor smished up and whatever,
yeah, in a blender, but that'snot what a baby at nine weeks
looks like.
So why would they be tellingpeople this?
It's like do they want them tofeel like it's not a big deal?
It's only nine weeks, it's onlythis, that and the other.
Therefore, it's not a life orsomething.
It's almost like they're tryingto imply certain things to give

(05:19):
people the flexibility to beaccepting of it and to me I
think it's justmisrepresentation and I don't
think it's right, because whatif someone finds out later on
the truth of it?
I always felt that, even as aresident, you know, up in
Massachusetts.
I made a suggestion because Isaid to one of the instructors I
said look, you know, we talkedto everybody about informed

(05:40):
consent and it's such a big deallike to explain to them what's
happening Like informed consentand it's such a big deal like to
explain to them what'shappening like if someone's
having a hysterectomy, you gottagive them informed consent.
Talked about what you're goingto be doing, talk about the
consequences and whatnot yeah, Iwas like, why don't we at least
give people like, offer them toshow them what it looks like?
yeah like assuming someone'spregnant, is thinking about
termination.

(06:01):
Show them what the baby lookslike at this gestation, to at
least give them informed consentso that later on in life they
don't come to find out that itwas misrepresented to them, to
have them have regret thenbecause of something which
wasn't how it was stated.
At least to give them theopportunity to say, yeah, show
me what it looks like, just so Iknow and I have informed
consent.
You don't have to force it onsomebody.

(06:23):
They refused to even give givingpeople any informed consent.
You don't have to force it onsomebody.
They refused to even givegiving people any informed
consent.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
It's almost like they knew people would change their
mind.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Right or yeah.
To me I couldn't believe it.
They didn't think that thiswould be an issue.
But to me it was an issuebecause, just like any other
medical operation or procedure,you should have informed consent
, and you know how else arepeople going to not have regret
if, for some reason later onthey find out what happened
wasn't what they wanted?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, if you just tuned in, you're listening to
God's Way Radio, our segment,foster Friday, and we're here
with some of the fine folks fromEve's Hope.
You've heard from them before.
I want to go to Wendy next,miss Wendy, because I heard her
there commenting, you know, andshe's here at Eve's Hope working

(07:07):
full-time on the front linesthere of the ministry.
But we also have a specialguest with us.
He's graciously separated someof his time to be here, dr
Sensetta.
And before we go any further,actually before we go to Wendy,
just to give the officialinformation, dr Sensetta, and I
have it written down, but I haveyou right here in front of me,
I also have Miss Linda, so DrSensetta is the medical director

(07:35):
of Eves Hill Pregnancy CareCenter, the medical director, so
he's joining us today, anothercomponent of the team there, so
finally get to hear from him.
So that's just catching up tothose that are just tuning in
now.
And remember, if you'relistening, you know I actually
asked Dr Sancetta before westarted you know where we would
go with the interview, whatthings we would talk about.

(07:56):
And he said, man, I'm open fordiscussion, I'm open for
discussing the realities of thetopics.
So if you have a question or acomment, it could be a difficult
question, it could be anencouraging comment, anything
that you want to contribute totoday's program minus you know,
anything obviously that is notallowed per FCC to air on the

(08:18):
radio.
I don't think we're going tohave anything like that, but we
would love to speak with you orhear from you.
786-313-315 you can call ortext us during this live program
.
786-313-315 is the number tothe studio.
But, wendy, I heard you sort ofchiming in there while dr

(08:40):
sincera was talking it's justfascinating.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
We rely on doctors like Dr Sensetta for information
, and if the medicalprofessionals are giving us
painting a picture allowing usto be flexible with how we're
going to think about something,I mean that's a pretty powerful
position.
And then you have, as a group,doctors that have an agenda that

(09:03):
purposely just everythingyou're describing.
It just makes me angry yeah, itmakes me angry.
It's like you said, joey, whenhe said it's informed consent if
we know the truth and theinformation then allows us to to
make a decision, but it's we'remaking women are making
decisions based on falseinformation yeah, yeah, it's
maddening.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Dr senceta, I'm sure we'll come back to some of the
specifics of this topic, but Idid want to hear a little bit
about how you got connected withEve's Hope.
I'm sure there's a story theresomewhere.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, there is a story.
I was sitting there at churchservices on a Sunday and they
were doing an interview withLinda about Eve's Hope and she
talked about Eve's Hope and whatthey were doing to try to help
women to come through theirpregnancies in a positive way,
and I had some experiences fromresidency that impacted me

(09:59):
personally that I felt likemaybe I could help, Maybe I
could offer my services to seeif that could be something I
could be of value to Eve's hope.
So I spoke to her afterwardsand she was like absolutely, we
could definitely use your help,and so that's how I kind of got
involved.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's amazing.
We're going to come right backto that.
We actually have a call, solet's take this here.
Good afternoon You're live onGod's Way Radio.
Where here?
Good afternoon You're live onGod's Way Radio.
Where are you calling us?
From Kendall, kendall Great tohear from the Kendall area.
And what question or commentdid you have for Dr Sancetta or
any of the folks from Eve's Hope?

Speaker 8 (10:38):
Well, number one.
I'd like to offer my gratitudeto the doctor Unfortunately,
there aren't too many MDs of hismindset in this modern world
and also to offer an opinion.
I was a father to a kid who gotaborted and I think the missing

(10:59):
link in this whole picture arefathers who didn't want their
kid aborted.
And they did get aborted and ofcourse you know the mothers
mostly afterwards are regretfulof such a thing after you know
it's too late after theprocedure's done.

(11:21):
But there are a lot of men whoare suffering with this and I
wanted to hear the doctor'sexperience after the procedure
is done.
But there are a lot of men whoare suffering with this and I
wanted to hear the doctor'sexperience, if he's had any,
concerning this.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
We're going to hang up the linehere.
Free up the line.
Let the doctor contribute toyour question.
Thank you again for calling.
Okay, and stay tuned for thatanswer.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Got it?
Well, it's interesting that youasked that question because I
was in the same situation when Iwas a resident.
I had a circumstance where Iwas dating a girl for several
years.
At the time she did getpregnant.
It wasn't a mistake, it wasn'tan accident and I had a strong
feeling of fatherhood too and Iwas like I won't accept anything

(12:11):
that involves abortion ortermination.
And unfortunately, despite mypleas, I offered to take care of
all the monetary concernsbecause I had money saved up.
At that point I said listen, ifyou want, I'll raise the child,
just let me have the child,it'll get you through the
pregnancy.
And unfortunately she chose to.

(12:35):
Well, her mother kind ofencouraged her to choose to
terminate and to this day I justconstantly see that as my
possible daughter or son thatI'm missing still 43 years later
.
It was 43 years ago.
It doesn't leave you, because Iliterally got sick to my
stomach when she told me thatshe did that and she was like 10

(12:57):
weeks plus pregnant at the timeand it was traumatic and for me
it still bothers me, I stillfeel guilt about stuff of that
nature thank you first of allfor being so transparent.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Um, and I I I see the god connection there with that
phone call.
I mean, I didn't, you know, forfolks listening, especially
some of our frequent listeners,I got the phone lines, uh,
totally full.
I have some texts here.
Anybody that knows me or knowsthe station knows that I like to
really do a lot of prep work inpreparing for interviews.

(13:30):
We didn't do any, you know, wedidn't do any preparation, so I
feel like I'm standing on holyground here.
So we're going to go in orderhere with these phone calls
we're going to take.
I believe this is Miami Florida.
What area of Miami are youcalling us from?
I believe this is Miami Florida.
What area of?

Speaker 9 (13:45):
Miami, are you calling us from South Miami
Heights?

Speaker 2 (13:48):
South Miami Heights.
Live on God's Word Radio.
Did you have?

Speaker 9 (13:54):
a question or a comment for us today.
You know, when we're talkingabout life, I can't help but to
think of just life itself as amiracle, right.
So many components and thingsthat have to all come together,
but even and I'm not a hundredpercent sure the practice or the
kind of medicine the doctorpractices.
But just as a doctor, if therehas been any experience where

(14:18):
when someone does a magic trick,the magician that knows the
trick, kind of you see behindthe scenes and you're like, oh,
that's how that happened, I feellike sometimes doctors have a
greater knowledge of what goeson and there's a lot of things
that can be explained like ohwell, that little thing turned
into that, that's how thathappened and you know, you kind
of can explain it.
But there's some things that arejust unexplainable.

(14:38):
We call them right, I mean some.
Most of the time we'll callthat a miracle.
So in the medical, if he's hadany experience where just
something that just you had tolook back and say I don't
understand that one, butsomething had to have happened.
God intervened, God was present, and I know God's present in
everything, but just in thatkind of explanation of like I

(15:00):
know a lot and I couldn't evenexplain this, anything like that
he might have.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Does that make sense, Dr Sensetta?

Speaker 5 (15:06):
I could think of some .
See, I guess one of thebenefits of being a pro-life
type of doctor is that I offerpatients that's all I offer.
I don't offer termination.
And I've had cases where apatient who's married and had
children and happened to bepregnant and she's like you know
, I can't, I can't keep thispregnancy.

(15:26):
I'm like, well, you know whynot?
What's the problem?
She's like well, I, I have, I'mseverely depressed, I have, uh,
really bad nausea and I waslike she goes, I've only wanted
terminations.
Well, I'm sorry, I can't helpyou with that.
I don't do terminations, but Ipromise you I will carry you
through and I'll do everything Ican to get you through this
pregnancy.
So I put her on certain type ofanti-anxiety things that help

(15:50):
with her depression.
We took care of the nausea andvomiting, and you know, she made
it all the way through and thendelivered her baby.
And it was like a year latershe comes to a visit with me and
says you know, thank God thatyou know you told me to keep
this child, this child is thelover of our life and you know
so it's.
You know situations like thatand you know being an

(16:11):
open-minded person and havingthe options, giving people
options.
I've had other women come to mewho are in college and like,
look, it's not the time for meto have a child, but they chose
to, you know, know, have thebaby, put it up for adoption.
And I had another patient whowas also involved with someone
and got pregnant and theyweren't ready to have children,
and but since she chose theadoption route too, and all

(16:33):
those situations worked out justfine, you know, and I'm happy
to be a person who is availableto you know offer that positive
outlook on circumstances.
I've even had cases where womenwho had, you know, situations
where the baby wasn't going todo well like, had some anomaly

(16:54):
where it wasn't going to becompatible with life.
And the patients were, you know,came to me saying you know, I'm
at the other office and theykeep telling me when are you
going to schedule thetermination?
And I'm like, you don't have toschedule any termination, you
know what the outcome is goingto be, but you can have your
baby when god decides.
When you go into labor it'slike you don't have to force
mother nature and say I want.

(17:14):
You know we need to take it outnow.
This is no rush to do any ofthat.
If the baby's not going to makeit, it'll come eventually.
So you just take care of thatat the time that it comes.
And you know it's just.
There's no pressure to do that.
You know, it really isn't in mymind unless somebody's life was
at stake.
But again, these situationsthat they talk about, the
mother's, life was at stake areextremely rare.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean really extremely rare.
We're definitely going to getto that Again, you as a
professional and being there,and you know it's not just the
numbers.
We'll get to that, my friend.
Any follow-up question for DrSensetta?

Speaker 9 (17:51):
No, no, I appreciate it.
I appreciate just the honestyand the experience.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Thank you so much for your phone call.
Thank you, bye-bye.
We'll talk to you later.
We have another call here onhold.

If this is you, I love you.
I appreciate your call.
I just ask you to keep it brief.
Yes, it is, go for it.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
Okay, now that you have a doctor there next to you,
I'll share something thathappened to me a couple of years
ago.
I belong to a church in Miamiand my doctor is a Christian
doctor and he called me becauseI did some lab work.
And he called me and saidGeorge, I need to see you

(18:53):
because the lab work came outand I need to see you, okay.
So I'm in the office waitingand he comes out and he goes did
you pay the co-payment?
No, no, I'm about to pay.
No, you don't have to pay no,co-payment.
What do you mean?
Sit down, I'm not going to seeyou today.
What do you mean?
You're not going to see me.
You called me, you said youwanted to see me.

(19:14):
Yeah, for something else.
And he goes.
Okay, what is that?
What do you need to see me?
Stay here in the room, I'll beback.
He went to get to his car orwherever he went, and he grabbed
the Bible and he goes.
George, the analysis came.
This and this and this have youever read about the Bible that
talks about how to take care ofyour temple?

(19:34):
What you read, to be honestwith you, no, well, I'm going to
read to you some verses of theBible that and that's what you
need to do Be obedient to theLord.
And man, no doubt man.
He hit me hard.
And then it's like one day inthe bathroom I was walking my
face and he was right there nextto me.

(19:55):
He didn't even recognize me.
He tells me, is that you,george?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Because you had improved.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Yes, I did.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I bought me a bike.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
I started bike riding , I started doing exercises like
he told me to do.
I was obedient to the word ofGod and he goes.
George, do you have a visitthis Monday?
And I go.
I know, Bro, what you do.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's great to hear.
Here's what I'm hearing fromyour call and from your story.
We have a remnant out there ofhonest, professional godly
doctors, so we have one here inthe studio and we have a story
of another.
George, I'm getting some textshere.
We're getting some wonderfulcontributions, so we're going to
go to the next listener.
I thank you for calling, fromSt Petersburg Florida.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Thank you, I'm praying.
I'm praying, bye.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Bye-bye.
Thank you so much, dear brother.
He calls almost every day.
I mean man.
I so appreciate him.
We got a text here, doctor.
This is amazing.
We have a listener and she'sconnecting the dots.
She said I won't share the name, but she said he delivered my
son almost 25 years ago, drSensetta.
So we have one of your patientshere listening.

(21:07):
They said sending a big, hugethank you for being so gentle
with this young mama so manyyears ago.
So if you want to say anythingto her 25 years ago, she
remembers that you were kind andgentle.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Well, thank you so much.
I'm glad to see that I was kindand gentle.
You had that approach, but Iappreciate your call, great,
great.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
So we have a couple other questions here that we've
gotten.
Let me read them as they werewritten.
Here we go, they said.
So I'll just read it as it waswritten.
You kind of started answeringthis already.
In pro-life debates I alwayshear the hypothetical argument
to legalize abortion for thosecases when quote the mother's

(21:54):
life is in danger.
End quote as an OB, can youshare your professional insight
on number one?
How often does a case thatextreme uh, it's uh, hang on,

(22:17):
it's kind of be that sure?
Yes, how can a doctor be thatsure that allowing a pregnancy
to go to term will actuallycause the mother to die?
How can you know for certain?
So number one is how often areyou even presented with this
case kind of case?
Number two how can doctors beso certain?
That's the question from one ofour listeners.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Okay, so I could preface it with my experience
personally.
I probably have delivered over5,000 babies since 1981.
5,000, in case that number wenttoo quick by some listeners
Between 4,500 and 5,000, withoutquestion in that range and I

(22:58):
guess in that time the only oneI could think of offhand that
was possibly in the realm of youknow is this the life of the
mother or questions about thelife of the mother was a case
where a patient was about 19 or20 weeks pregnant and she had
developed or was found to havebreast cancer.

(23:18):
And they said well, you havebreast cancer, and her doctor
said you need to terminate thepregnancy and then we need to
get you on chemotherapy and blah, blah, blah, this sort of thing
right.
And the patient was like Idon't want to kill my baby, and
so I talked to her.
I was like, well, you don'thave to kill your baby, you
could choose to have your babyand then be treated after the

(23:39):
baby's born.
The surgeon at the time wasn'tokay with that and pretty much
said you know, in that case Iterminate you as a patient and
you can't see me anymore, whichI thought wasn't really fair you
know because the woman was in asituation where she's choosing
the life of her unborn child.
Why would you, you know, kind ofsay I abandoned you as a doctor
?
It kind of bothered me thatthat's how it went down.

(24:01):
But I told her.
I said no, no, no, no.
You continue with what you feelcomfortable with.
I'll deliver your baby and thenyou'll get hooked up with you
know another general surgeon totake care of your breast cancer,
you know.
So I mean, that was the onlycase I could think of.
Now.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I've had cases where Now, I'm sorry if it went by
quickly and I missed it.
What was the outcome of that?

Speaker 5 (24:24):
She had her baby.
She went full term anddelivered the baby and then got
treated afterwards.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
That's it.
That was the end of that Wow.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
And likewise, as I say, a lot of these people talk
about anomalies and whatever.
In most cases there's ananomaly.
You can deliver that wheneverit comes naturally.
You don't have to terminate thepregnancy.
It'll happen eventually on itsown.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
And for those listening I think I understand.
Maybe I could use someclarification.
We say anomaly, that there'sand again, I know some of these
words are negative words orloaded words, and I'm even
unmuting miss linda's mic aswell, because I'm sure she sees
this as well there's somethingwrong with the baby, or the baby
has this thing or that thing.
You're saying to wait and seethe actual outcome.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
That's what we're talking about well, I mean, I
think you could pretty much allright here's thing.
There are several things thatare tested for, especially
nowadays very common to have anon-invasive prenatal testing
where they draw blood from themother and they could tell if
the baby suffers from certaintype of chromosomal
abnormalities, like trisomy 13,18, 15, and trisomy 21, which is

(25:29):
Down syndrome, and thenaccordingly, a lot of people
making decisions to terminatethe pregnancy if they have one
of those four situations.
But I could only tell you fromhistory of my patients and we
were in one circumstance a longtime ago where a patient had
trisomy 18.

(25:49):
And at the time I was reviewingit and reviewing what it meant
to have tries me 18.
They're saying, well, the babyhas like a strawberry head type
of thing, which I didn't knowwhat the heck that meant, or
anyway I I did my research andat the time I didn't know what
to suggest to her, but shewanted referrals for termination
and she ended up going and didhave a termination from another

(26:10):
doctor.
But I went to research abouttrisomy 18.
And to my surprise I come torealize that the babies can
sometimes live to six years old.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
And.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
I looked at the pictures of them and I'm like
this doesn't look like astrawberry head to me.
It looks like a regular head tome.
I think what are you talkingabout?
Strawberry head sounds kind oflike bizarre.
But I mean these circumstances,I mean every individual case.
People are going to choose whatthey do, but I think you have
to come to.
I'd like to just let it be whatit is, be and have.

(26:40):
God decide how things go about.
I have many patients who havehad Down syndrome babies and
come back and tell me that theylove this child, this apple of
everybody's eye, and theirfamily.
So you don't just prejudgepeople based upon a chromosomal
issue.
I mean, god should be the onlyone to make that type of
judgment on people, and that'show I like to leave it and try

(27:02):
to give people encouragement incircumstances where they feel
differently.
I've had patients who took offto Portland, oregon, because
they needed to terminate andthey were beyond whatever time
and they had some issue thatthey didn't want to bring to
life.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Even patients that you've had in your office.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
I've had one patient, that well, she had come to me,
and she was an in vitropregnancy, no less.
And she decided that she wasn'tgoing to accept it, for whatever
reason.
I don't recall exactly what theabnormality was, but it might
have been Down's, I'm not reallysure, but she was not going to
have the baby and to me that waskind of sad, because someone

(27:42):
goes through that much troubleto have a baby, and to me it's
just sad.
I mean, obviously I've had achild that didn't come to life,
which, yeah, they say to thisday, think about and uh and find
it unfortunate.
I couldn't do anything.
And that's one thing I thoughtabout at the time.
There are no men's rights, youknow, because remember back at
the time they were like my body,my choice, if the woman chooses

(28:04):
what they want, but if you havethe baby, then paternity, you
got to pay child support.
It's like the man like whatright does he have, like he had
no say to tell somebody you haveto have the child and yet on
the other hand, he must pay forthe child support.
Should the woman on her ownindividually decide that she
wants to keep a child?
Well, you can't have it bothways.
It doesn't make any sense,because if the father should

(28:25):
have responsibilities, he shouldhave rights also to say no, you
have to have the child, I'lltake care of the child.
I you have to have the child,I'll take care of the child.
I had money at the time, Iwould have taken over full care
of the child.
But there isn't anything likethat and I just say that as a
message to warn men about thiscircumstance, because I know
there's a lot of men out therewho probably were in my
situation.
I've had other people talk tome about the same circumstance

(28:46):
also since this happened to meand it's sad because these men
are standing up and decidingthat they want to be a parent
and they don't have the rightsor non-existent.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, brian, any thoughts on that?
We do have Brian here.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Ladies and gentlemen, yeah, no, I mean what he's
highlighting.
It's a big issue, right.
And so because there is nolegal standing for the man in
that decision, then it's mucheasier for the man to believe
the lie overall that he doesn'thave a say, even though

(29:20):
according to God he would have asay, but according to the law
of the state he has no say.
And so frequently what I see ishe just remains quiet or he
says well, whatever she wants,and then that's a big problem,
right?
So you know, perhaps we can'tovercome the law at this point
in time, but you can overcomethe lie at least, and if that's

(29:41):
what you want, you know, speakup.
by all means speak up, becauseif you don't, then you know it
increases the likelihood thatshe will decide to terminate.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Because she's not sure what you think as the man,
yeah, yeah, just sort of doingall that you can.
There's a term for this.
The men, in this case, are sortof at a disadvantage, right?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Or there's another term for this You're starting
off behind the starting line, ina sense, right so to gain every
advantage that you can as theman in the relationship, the
father, the, the supporter, andthen if you're a godly man not
everybody that comes into eve'shope obviously is is a christian
or or has that belief systembut if you do have that belief
system and you know, but youbelieve in the god of the bible,

(30:28):
then at that point you justhave to say I've got to do
what's right between God and me.
You know, I have to try to beobedient to what God would have
me do, and whatever she ends updoing is whatever she ends up
doing.
But I'm going to give it mybest, you know, to live it out
and speak up to and point outwhat I believe to the woman.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Absolutely.
We're getting texts here.
There's a couple ladiesactually that are really you
know, they're sending fireemojis.
There's no men's rights.
I agree 100%.
They made this comment.
They said we want men to stepup, but don't give them a voice
in the beginning and thensociety accuses them for being
passive and lazy.

(31:09):
So this perpetuating of thiscycle incredible what we're
discovering here in ourconversation.
Before we continue, I just wantto welcome anybody that just
tuned in.
It's four o'clock here, and Isay here because we actually do
have folks that listen fromdifferent time zones.
So it's four o'clock here inMiami Florida, april the 25th.

(31:31):
We're live here in the studio.
It's Friday and that means thisis our segment, foster Friday,
and if you've been listening fora number of months, we might be
coming up on a year of thissegment already.
I have to go back and look.
You know that Foster Friday canbe anywhere from 10 or 15
minutes at the beginning of ourlive program to an hour with a
studio full of people on theother extreme, and that's what

(31:53):
we have today.
We have four wonderful brothersand sisters here from Eve's
Hope Pregnancy Center here inMiami Florida, not just in one
place but with the mobile unitservicing all of Miami-Dade.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
County, pretty much All of Miami-Dade County, All of
.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Miami-Dade County and we're here today, especially
with the medical director,medical director dr cincetta.
So it's a great privilege andif you have any questions or
comments we mentioned it earlierthey might be difficult
questions or they might be veryencouraging comments.
Either way, we want to hearfrom you 786-313-3115, the phone

(32:31):
number to our studio, so youcan text or call.
Right now you only have a halfan hour left to do so, so don't
waste that 786-313-3115.
I want to make a comment on somethings that Brian said, and
then I want to come back to thestory.
You know, if you guys remember,we actually had to cut into the

(32:52):
middle of that story when Lindafirst gave that invite and
first met Dr Sincetta.
But I want to remind folks howGod is really so amazing.
If you go to our podcast,friends and Family by God's Way
Radio, and if you go one, two,three, four episodes back, it is
titled Brian and Wendy fromEve's Hope on the role of men in

(33:13):
pro-life ministry, and wetalked for an hour about that
very topic.
So go back and listen toFriends and Family from God's
Way Radio.
So, linda, what was goingthrough your mind when Dr
Sensetta responded that dayafter church?

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Well, I certainly said thank you God that day
after church.
Well, I certainly said thankyou God, because finding someone
who is pro-life and is an OBdoctor is so difficult in this
city.
And so I remember the first timewe were looking for somebody, I
went to my pastor and I said Ican't find anybody.

(33:51):
Is there anybody that you canrecommend?
And so eventually we foundCynthia Bradley, and now we have
Dr Sancetta, and it's been sucha blessing because he gets it.
I mean, he truly does get whatwe're trying to accomplish when
we're ministering to her butalso ministering to him.

(34:14):
And, of course, brian is a carecoordinator and he speaks to
the men and he can speak ontopic about what they're going
through.
And we realized a number ofyears ago that the men were
sitting out.
Those that did come to thecenter with their partner were
sitting in the waiting room,nervous, anxious, not knowing

(34:35):
what was going on, and sooccasionally I would talk to
them.
Well, I'm a woman, I alwaysfelt like I was their
grandmother talking to them.
But I would bring them back andtalk to them, offer them coffee
and whatnot, and eventually westarted having men come talking
to men, so man to man, andencouraging them to speak boldly

(35:00):
for the life of their childwhen they were choosing, when
they wanted to parent, and shewasn't there, so equipping him
with the things that she neededto hear what she wanted to hear
from him.
I'll be there, I'll support mychild, and so on and so forth.
So we've come a long way.
So back then I remember and Isay this often to doctors I

(35:25):
remember when your wife wastapping me on the shoulder and
pointing to her husband he wantsto talk to you and I said, okay
, okay, this is important yeahmake sure you acknowledge him
and talk to him yeah and um thatsame day yeah

Speaker 2 (35:43):
I also met brian oh, wow and that's good.
So was this at the churchyou're still at now?
Is this at a different church?

Speaker 4 (35:48):
yeah, same church.
Awesome, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
So we're we got to give them a shout out.
Who are we giving a shout outto?
It's christ fellowship, givinga shout out to it's Christ
Fellowship, christ Fellowship.
Shout out to Christ Fellowshipman.
That's awesome.
That's amazing.
And about how long ago was this, this meeting?

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Three years ago.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
About three years.
That's amazing.
Yeah, about three years ago,that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
And so what's?
What's exciting to me, joey, isthat three years ago I didn't
know that we would have today inFlorida a six-week bill,
heartbeat bill.
That's where we're at.
I didn't know we would havethat.
Back then, abortion was at 25weeks.
Okay.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
So it was very different, and now we're at a
place that is so different to ustoday.
Over the last year it'll be ayear next month that the six
week bill has been in effect andDr Sancetta has been willing to
help walk us along thetransition from that 20, not 25

(36:49):
weeks, because then it went to15 weeks and and so he's worked
with us as we've transitionedhow to figure it out, because
you know we have about a weekand a half window to reach her.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
That's it.
So, can you elaborate on that?
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 3 (37:06):
So when she misses her period, she's usually around
four weeks.
Four weeks okay, she's waitingfor her period.
She's missed her period Fourweeks, she's into the pregnancy
Okay.
So she waits a day Now, fourweeks, one day Okay.
On the second day she's goingto Do a pregnancy test.
Oh, my gosh, I'm pregnant Now.
She's looking for her choicesand hopefully she finds us.

(37:30):
And we advertise we want toreach her.
But once she's at six weeksthere is no abortion for her.
So she's quickly making adecision.
So we're quickly, so we'rereaching her and we're inviting
her to come in.
We're inviting her to have thatultrasound, and if she's too

(37:52):
early and sometimes they're tooearly because we're not hearing
that heartbeat yet we may see afetal pull but, we're not
hearing that heartbeat and we'reinviting her back in and that
is the key to ask her to comeback in to make sure that she
indeed is pregnant with a viablepregnancy, and so Dr Sensetta
understands that and has allowedus to do that return ultrasound

(38:16):
appointment.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Let me ask you this how vital, because you've
explained it to me, but whateverinformation you can share with
the listeners, I think is such ablessing.
Uh, linda, before we go back todr senceta again, uh, his time
here today, uh, but how vitaland and how important and how
much of a boost it is, or howmuch of a crucial part it is, to

(38:38):
have a medical director, drsenceta, as part of the eve's
hope team, and what differencedoes that make for you as a
organization, as a ministry?

Speaker 3 (38:46):
okay, without him, without the medical director,
without that OB or medicaldoctor, we would not be able to
do anything medical.
So he oversees the medicalportion of what we do, gotcha.
So his license is what allowsus to do the pregnancy test, to

(39:06):
do the ultrasound, to do all ofthat medical portion, and so
we're under his supervision.
So the medical team meets withhim and they basically report to
him and once they have theultrasound, the ultrasound is
sent to him.
He reviews the ultrasound,approves it or whatever.

(39:30):
We already have, um, themedical protocol as to what
we're going to do, if, if this,if this, then that if this, then
that okay.
So he's established all themedical protocol and the medical
team.
We're blessed with some nursevolunteers and we have a nurse
that's on staff as well, and sowe're equipped today to do that

(39:53):
medical much better than we didin the very beginning.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, amazing.
Thank you for sharing that.
And Dr Sancetta, sort of goingoff of that, what else?
Or you know, just kind ofelaborating on that picture,
your role at Eve's Hope.
What else do you do there?
How do you interact with folks?
Maybe your favorite part ofworking with Eve's Hope, maybe,

(40:17):
if it comes to mind any of thetoughest parts, just your role
with Eve's Hope.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
Well, as I say, it's not really a complex role.
I mean, obviously I oversee theultrasounds that are done there
.
When there's meetings, I'll beat the meeting, maybe giving my
advice as to what I feel isappropriate, but I'm pretty
lenient about that.
I think a conversation shouldalways be an opening for anyone.
I don't think we should pickany time.

(40:42):
The earlier you get to peopleto discuss issues with them, the
better time you have.
The earlier you get to peopleto discuss issues with them, the
better.
All you're doing is informingthem of what's the possibilities
for their pregnancy and thatyou have some people there who
will support you through yourpregnancy.
And these are important issuesthat women who are scared and
find themselves pregnant at anopportune time need to know that
this is available to them.

(41:03):
These are really caring peopleat the center who are there for
them and you see the changes itmakes in people's lives and for
me, like if we could save a fewmore people from the situations
that happened to me and Brianfrom the past.
You know, then, we're doing alot of good because these are
issues that people remember,stuff for decades later and may

(41:24):
have serious regret.
And you know, if we can save afew babies' lives and people's
lives.
You know the mothers andparents of these children
because you know, I don't seeanybody regretting having a
child when they do have a child.
It doesn't mean life is alwaysgoing to be easy.
Life's not going to be easy,but you can get through and with
the proper support you'll beokay, you know it'll be all

(41:46):
right.
Can get through and with theproper support you'll you'll be
okay, you know it'll be allright.
And even if someone says, hey,you know, I really don't want to
have that burden they could puta child up for adoption.
I've had many patients in myoffice uh, come to my office who
and chose adoption as analternative, which is totally
reasonable alternative.
Give the child, child a chancesomewhere else.
What's the big deal?
yeah, you know, so I don'tunderstand what the problem is
with all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah, you know, it's amazing and it's encouraging
being in a room with like-mindedpeople.
I have the blessed privilege ofhaving one of my children
adopted.
We adopted him and it's anhonor.

(42:29):
Dr Senset, I hope I can phrasethis properly.
I really do.
How do you navigate?
You know the phrase that youjust said, the way that you just
said it.
You know I don't understand.

(42:49):
You know how do you navigatethose difficult conversations
with a patient right in front ofyou?

Speaker 5 (42:51):
really, really not seeing eye to eye.
Does that make sense?
That question, yeah, and Ithink this is only a limited
amount you can do as a doctor.
I think you know as a doctoryou kind of share with them your
thoughts.
You know you might share withthem your history, what happened
to you personally or what, whyyou aren't supportive of that.
But people don't usually delvethat deep.
Usually they're going to talkto you briefly, realize you're
not going to be there for themif they're planning termination

(43:17):
and then they move on to anotherconversation with someone else.
But I think just being thereand espousing the views that you
do is important for people togather and say, well, my doctor
doesn't think what I'm doing isa good idea.
Maybe I should be thinkingtwice about this.
I mean, I guess you put theseed of thought in their head
you can get through this, it'sgoing to be okay.
Or put up for adoption.
Look, I've had circumstances inmy life.

(43:38):
I've had ex-girlfriends whowere pregnant in a bad way.
I mean, the person came to meand we did the ultrasound and
they said well, I'm only likesomeone with such weeks of
pregnancy no, no, no, no, you'relike 15 weeks.
And then they remembered thatthey had a bad occurrence.
You know where they weredrugged and something happened

(43:59):
to them and this was unknown,you know, but they were pregnant
.
Now, you know, and other peoplewho had circumstances where
something happened by accident,and a lot of them say you know,
I had a dream and and I decidedthis I can't terminate, this
isn't the baby's fault, this isthe baby didn't do this.
Wow, it's not the baby's fault.
And I, and I always tell themlook, I'll, I'll be your doctor,

(44:20):
I'll carry you through, I'll,I'll deliver the baby for you.
You know, don't worry aboutanything monetarily.
You know, I'll take care ofthat circumstance.
And you know, because you know,and if I could do that I'd,
it'd be a blessing obviouslyit's worth it and I think that
people, um, some people, have aconscience that it may come to
them of a dream.
They may be saying, hey, thisisn't right.

(44:40):
You know, even in badcircumstance people say, oh, in
case of, in case of rape, and incase of this and the other,
then you should allow it.
It's like, well, no, really,the baby, the innocent baby on
the inside, what did he?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
do.
What did she do?

Speaker 5 (44:53):
I mean it's like so I don't know.
I guess you could be asflexible as you want to be, and
if you're a religious person andbelieve in the Bible and
believe in good nature of Christ, why wouldn't you think that
way?
And so that's the way I look atit.
If you can convince people tobe open-minded and try to live
on a positive, be optimistic andit'll work out.

(45:16):
It all works out.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
It all works out.
Yeah, if you're just tuned in,we have about 15 minutes left,
believe it or not, with Wendyand Linda, dr Sonsetta and Brian
from Eve's Hope PregnancyCenter here in Miami.
So if you had any questions orcomments for them, please give
us a call or text us now beforewe run out of time 786-313-3115.

(45:41):
And just to clarify, we adopteda child.
Not that we gave up a child foradoption which nothing wrong,
obviously but just wanted toclarify.
We adopted a child, not that wegave up a child for adoption
which nothing wrong, obviouslybut just wanted to clarify that
one of my kids, we adopted them.
Dr Sun said I wanted to ask youthis and I don't know again.
I just thought, man, we have adoctor here.
But you know, I've alwayswondered and here's the question

(46:08):
, what is the mechanism for life?
In other words, how does thisdeal happen?
Conception, you know, a babycoming into being.
I mean, is it stillunexplainable?
We have the doctor here, howdoes you know?
You know what I mean, I don'tknow.
Maybe this is too philosophicalhere, maybe there's a textbook

(46:33):
answer, but you know, we've seenvideos or articles.
But doctor, do we know yet?
Do we know how this happened?

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Well, I think it's obviously a mystery to the whole
thing.
To some extent I know this.
You can look at terms from thescientific aspect the, you know,
the sperm meets the egg.
There's an acrosomal reaction.
Someone says there's a flash oflight at the time of conception
, wow and um, and so all thisoccurs.
And then you, you're startingoff with the very early, you

(47:02):
know, fertilized egg and then it, you know, creates and
continues to divide and becomes,eventually becomes an embryo
and implants into the as the eggand travels down.
It takes seven days for it totravel through the tube to get
to the uterus and then finally,it implants.
Now obviously things happenalong the way, like if somebody,

(47:23):
uh, his cycle is off, maybethat that doesn't implant
properly and it comes out andthat's the end of that.
So I mean, things happen innature that don't allow life to
to to set foot sometime, butotherwise, you know, once it's
implanted, well then it's goingto grow in the uterus and
hopefully it'll, you know, getget its way through to term.
Uh, so again, there's ascientific way of looking at it,

(47:46):
but there's also the spiritualway of looking at it and saying
you know that god creates life.
That's, that's uh, you knowthat's part of the whole deal
here that's amazing, amazing,thank you.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Thank you so much for for uh uh giving us some of
that.
Uh, linda, what did you hand mehere?

Speaker 3 (48:03):
that's something that we give to clients oh, that's
awesome.
It's a discussion piece.
It's called milestones of earlychildhood and so you can see
when conception happens, exactlywhat dr since that it just
mentioned, and it is a flash oflight that I'm that we read
there and it's just a beautifulthing that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold on to this.
Um, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Um, so, uh, we have dr sencetahere and then we have three, uh,
other folks from eve's hopenumber one that might have their
own, uh sort of um, you know,updates or anything that we

(48:44):
might want for the listeners andor might have better questions
than I could think of that wecan ask Dr Sensetta or topics
that you might want to go tohere live on the radio.
So, whether Wendy or Linda orBrian, anything that you guys
wanted to discuss while we haveDr Sensetta here today, the only
other thing that I could thinkof is, you know, kind of more

(49:07):
information or awareness on thelaws and the changes in the laws
.
But besides that, if there wasanything else the team here
thought we could discuss, I justthink it's been a fascinating
time here with Dr Sonsetta.

Speaker 7 (49:19):
I mean, I've met with you before, but I don't have a
question.
I just wanted to say genuinelywe are so thankful for you I
know the medical team lovesworking with you and we just
feel very blessed.
Um, I told you this at theluncheon that we had, that
you're often referred to and wetalk about you, and just how
thankful we are to god for you,thinking about all the stories

(49:40):
that we've been able to sharehere at god's way, radio and um,
under your covering, all thoselives are being saved.
I'm thinking about that man whowe referred to your office.
She didn't want to continuewith the pregnancy but he wanted
to fight for his baby and shedidn't stay.
She didn't keep theappointments, but he kept
calling and you guys gave himsupport and then he would call

(50:02):
the center and we would give himsupport.
Well, that baby was bornAwesome, and that baby was born
and he loves her.
Uh, he now has a daughter andthey're not together, but he
just speaks of what a blessinghis daughter is to his life and
and it started with a connectionto your interesting, your
practice very

Speaker 2 (50:19):
good that's amazing good that's amazing, um, I just
wanted to.
I don't know if it's here inthe, in the literature, um, but
I was very if it's here in theliterature, but I was very
interested.
It takes seven days for whichpart of this which?

Speaker 5 (50:32):
process.
Well, once egg is fertilized inthe tube, then it takes seven
days for it to travel down thetube into the uterus and then it
implants.
And then, once it implants,then it starts to create HCG,
which is the saving thing thatkeeps the corpus luteum cyst on
the ovary alive and keeps itgoing to protect the uterus from

(50:53):
going into a period.
So basically, that needs to getthere in seven days and implant
to create HCG, the pregnancytest hormone, in order to
continue on.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Got it.
I'm going to have to re-listento that multiple times, but
seven days to travel down thetube, got it, I'm going to have
to re-listen to that multipletimes.
But seven days to travel downthe tube Got it.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
It almost sounds like on the seventh day it found
rest.
Yeah, that's amazing.
I like that phrase.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
That's amazing.
I mean that's why it stuck outto me.
I mean I'm here actuallytexting with my wife.
You know I'm still struck bythat.
Seven days it took God tocreate the known universe and
each life.
He takes seven days to have ittravel down the tube.
I mean, that's just still.

(51:37):
My brain is not processing.
But we have a text here,thankful to God for all of the
Eve's Hope staff and Dr Sensettafor daring to go against the
louder voices and givingfamilies choice that honors God
and human life.
So, dr Sensetta, if you want tosay anything to this person,

(52:01):
that texted.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Thank you very much for that statement, and I think
many doctors are silent, butmaybe you're thinking the way
I'm thinking.
I'm hopeful that they are.
I know that we all work veryhard trying to take care of
mothers and babies and makingsure they all come through in a
healthy manner.
And that's a big challenge inthis field and I'm hopeful that
other people will come to seelife that way.

(52:24):
It's always better in my mindto choose way.
It's always better in my mindto choose life.
It's a happier way to be.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah, let me ask you this, dr Sensetta, of the folks
that are listening, how can wepray for you as a doctor, as a
man of God?
How can we be praying for you,for you, for your practice, for
your?

Speaker 5 (52:41):
patients, anything, anything is fine.
I'm open to all prayers.
We don't have a perfect life,but we're open to any prayers.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Yeah, let me ask you this what are some of the
difficult parts of being anOBGYN?
What are some of the harderparts of the profession?

Speaker 5 (52:58):
The harder parts of the profession is when patients
have a very difficult outcome orcase where things are going
badly.
Ob is a very difficult outcomeor case where things are going
badly.
I mean OB is a very difficultfield because it's kind of like
its own universe.
Nobody understands obstetricsother than obstetrician because
we deal with it every day andwhen things go crazy in this

(53:20):
specialty it could result in alot of bleeding, hysterectomy,
all kinds of crazy things canhappen and some people don't
make it through and some babiesdon't always make it through
because of all that.
So that's the challenge of it.
I mean, I've been in thisbusiness for over 40-something
years delivering babies and Istill kind of practice the way I
always have in terms of doingthe high-risk cases and

(53:41):
difficult cases, and sometimesI'm sort of in many respects I
could have retired, but I stilldo this because if I'm not there
, who else are?
going to see for certain specialprocedures I do that other
people don't offer.
So I try to hang in therebecause I love that patients are
grateful for the outcomes whenthey know that I was diligently

(54:01):
by their side and taking goodcare of them and that's the
reason why I still practice OBcare of them and that's the
reason why I still practice OBand I think, from the standpoint
of my experience in thetermination issue and what
happened to me, I feel goodsupporting Eve's Hope and doing
the best I can to try to bringpeople to see.
My goal is to have informationout there and have people

(54:23):
understand what's going on andsee that there's a positive
viewpoint that they could havetowards things and they can see
things in a different way.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
And they have support here from a lot of pro-life
organizations, including usehope, and they should entertain
that as a possibility and, uh,and maybe that could be an
outcome for them, a positiveoutcome, great, great yeah, no,
I just wanted to build on whathe was saying because, uh, you
know, not, not every OB does thehigh risk patient or accept the

(54:51):
high risk patient, like he does, and then having him as our
medical director, uh, you know,more than once, in many times in
fact, we have women that areconcerned about high risk or in
that situation of being highrisk and then to be able to at
least refer them straight to himfor a consult.
That's incredibly comforting,and so God orchestrated that.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
I see that as God orchestrating it, because is the
implication that if it's highrisk, other doctors would
terminate in that case?

Speaker 5 (55:20):
Well, not necessarily , but the stuff I offer, like
doing a vaginal birth aftercesarean and things like that
are just less and less doctorsdoing that.
Or external cephalic versionfor breech if someone's breech,
flipping it to head down toallow for vaginal birth.
Like I'm pro-vaginal birth, Itry to do everything, all
natural if possible, and there'sthings you can do a lot of

(55:41):
times to remedy situations.
So that's the part of it that Igotcha I stand off for now.
As far as high risk, uh, yeah,I mean that things happen in ob
and someone goes from beingnormal risk to high risk like in
a blink of an eye and that justis one of the things we have to
deal.
I've had cases where I had to doc-section in the emergency room
and the baby survived, but wehad to do it under local
anesthesia right there in theemergency room wow and that baby

(56:03):
was survived and uh.
But I mean, those are crazycases that maybe once in a
lifetime case yeah, that'samazing.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Again, if you wanted to call or text 786 313 315, 786
313 315, we have a very fewminutes left here.
I just got a picture.
Is this you, sir?

Speaker 5 (56:33):
That is me.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
That's the mom from 25 years ago.
That's awesome.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
That's a younger version of me.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
That is awesome.
So, guys, if you're listening,I just got to tell you.
I mean, I want this to be on onthe record here.
The god connections, um, so, uh, we, oh well, too late.
She said you don't have to showhim.
I already did.
Sorry, mom, sorry my sister, uh.
So the god connection.
We have somebody listening that, uh, he delivered their baby

(57:02):
over 25 years ago.
Uh, my wife is a doula.
She's been there with DrSensetta once.
She's hopefully going to bethere twice, hopefully soon,
with her clients.
So it's amazing how God bringspeople together.
Just amazing Family.
Any closing comments here inthe last few minutes?

(57:22):
If not, hey, music's good too.
We'll cut to a few minutes ofmusic.
But, dr Sensetta, in case Idon't get a chance to say, thank
you so much for coming in todayfor your time.
I can imagine you have a lot ofpeople waiting for you or
trying to have some of your time.
So thank you for coming intoday.

Speaker 5 (57:39):
Trudy, you're welcome .
It was my pleasure, thank you.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Joey, we want to plug our website.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Yes, please All that stuff.
Yes, absolutely so.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
I'll let Wendy talk about that, because we're very
excited about launching a newclient site as well.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
I'm so sorry.
We got a text that I didn't see.
We got a text that I didn't see, so I want to get to it.
I'm going to read it again asit's written.
I don't even recognize some ofthe terms, so I'm just going to
read it as it's written.
They said first of all, for therecord, I'm pro-life, but this
is a common argument point.
I hear Quote.
I've heard that the DNCprocedure being outlawed

(58:19):
completely creates problems forthe women who need a DNC because
of a late-term miscarriage.
Is this true?

Speaker 5 (58:29):
I don't see any contraindication where someone
had miscarried and you're doinga DNC to clear out the placenta
that's remaining.
I've never heard of that beingan issue.
I know none of the hospitalsthat I work at would have any
restriction on that.
And certainly, if a baby isexpired in the womb, then you
could allow labor to occurbecause you don't want to have

(58:51):
anybody getting infected.
So I don't really see anycontraindication for a doctor
using prudent judgment in takingcare of the patient who's still
alive, which would be themother in that circumstance.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Okay great.
I don't know half of the thingsthere, but for who asked?

Speaker 4 (59:05):
they have the answer.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
